Nah! it’s not a snag. It’s a steroid shot. The libtards look worse and worse every day this gets press.
It's tough keeping up with the current standards as Pelosi found out today.
Rush is referring to liberals not to the mentally ill, just like Rahm Emnmanuel did. The joke has about run its course I think.
Do you know many retarded people?
It still is as far as I know.
Why wouldn't it be?

I can’t keep track but I think the PC police use Special Needs now? Someone in the PC police correct me. I thought it was a bigger outrage that he compared these kids to Libaral Democrats.
OK, I guess I was a bit oversensitive. I did not realize that Rush was doing satire.
To retard means to hold back or hinder. Under Obama, our lives are going to be very retarded.
Like he did wth Biden “clean articulate black man” and Harry Reid or the LA Times writer who called Obama the “magic negro”. Its all satire.
Mark Levin: “I’m a big Sarah Palin fan. And by the way, she’s a big Rush Limbaugh fan. Don’t let the folks at Politico twist what Sarah Palin’s spokeswoman said and so forth. Everything’s copacetic.”
From Thursday’s Mark Levin Show at about the 33-minute mark.

Wouldn’t any word people come up besides retard, still mean the exact same thing, and wouldn’t people appropriate it for their political enemies?

You Say Fake Ads, They Say Satire
Brett Michael Dykes, whose fake ads and their responses have been popular features of his blog, Cajun Boy in the City (cajunboyinthecity.blogspot.com), usually posts in the “Missed Connections” category. (Many suspected Mr. Dykes wrote the “gold digger” ad, but he insists he didn’t.)
He posted an ad in April from the perspective of a woman to the “skinny boy on the L train in manhattan this morning” and went on to describe the quintessential hipster (“your jeans were tight but sagged just enough to expose the waistband of your knickers,” “slightly androgynous, you looked upset about something, often staring into nothingness, perhaps contemplating infinity, kafka, or both”). The ad writer, meanwhile, came across as attractive but conceited, claiming that “every other guy on the L was checking me out.” Responses poured in, as they did for another ad whose presumed writer also described herself as attractive but made racist remarks.
“When you break it down, guys are just really pathetic,” said Mr. Dykes, 35, who lives in Manhattan.
The most buzz Mr. Dykes generated was with a September post, from the perspective of a male who offered sexual favors to anyone for tickets to a Genesis reunion concert at Giants Stadium. Web sites, including Gawker, New York Magazine’s Daily Intelligencer, and Buzzfeed, linked to the ad. Jossip even ran an interview with Mr. Dykes.

what ya are not seeing is the “F” word is the issue~~~Rush didn’t use the “F” word so its not the same. Sarah is correct on this!!!! PALIN/BROWN 2012
What I have trouble understanding sometimes, is this great regard and esteem for retarded people, yet during a pregnancy, people pray like hell they WON’T get a retarded baby, and when the baby is born, people say Praise God it’s healthy! That always seemed like a slap in their face.

Fox News again accused of airing misleading video - Yahoo! News
“”Brett Michael Dykes, a blogger notorious for fake listings on Craigslist”
Wasn’t the author of this piece the same person? gee, no bias here! ”
Glenn Beck’s gold-gate problem
Yet another controversy appears to be brewing around Fox News host Glenn Beck. Some are accusing him of a blatant conflict of interest concerning his frequent on-air promotion of an investment sold by one of his main advertisers: Gold.
For some time Beck critics have cried foul over his relationship with Goldline International, a precious metals vendor that features the TV and radio host’s endorsement prominently on their website. Critics charge that Beck is guilty of misleading his audience by often advising them to purchase gold in advance of the potential collapse of the value of the dollar on the world currency market, without disclosing that he is in fact a “paid spokesman” for Goldline. Beck’s on-air promotion of gold, which includes advising viewers to construct “fruit cellars” and to rely on a “three G system” of “God, Gold, and Guns” in the event of America’s collapse, dates back to his time as a host for CNN Headline News.
